Abstract

This paper makes two points. The first re-lates to the importance for environmental policy research of combining macro-system approaches with appropriate micro in- stitutional and behavioral analysis. Of particular interest is social analysis that helps identify and understand vested interests, and the distribution of policy benefits and costs, i.e. a focus on the distribution of power and resources, and the channels of authority and decision-making. The second point stresses the need to integrate gender analysis more fully into the above, and the research and policy benefits that are likely to result from doing so.
